IMF → GAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Imphal Airport (Imphal) to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for its potential views of the distant Eastern Himalayan peaks and the rugged, verdant ridges of the Naga Hills during the transition from the Imphal Valley.
Search flights from IMF to GAU
Eastern Himalayas
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Arunachal and Bhutanese Himalayas may be visible on the horizon.
Naga Hills
Dramatic view of the sharp ridges and deep valleys as the flight crosses towards the Brahmaputra basin.
Imphal City Panoramas
Excellent views of the bowl-shaped valley and the historic Kangla Fort during the initial ascent.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, braided river system comes into full view as the plane turns for its final approach into GAU.
The right side is best for high-altitude scenery. During winter (November to February), the air is clearest, maximizing your chances of seeing the Himalayan range. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

Loktak Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its unique floating islands called phumdis.
Barail Range
Dense, subtropical forest-covered mountain ranges that form the backbone of the region.
Deepor Beel
A sprawling permanent freshwater lake and bird sanctuary visible just before landing at Guwahati.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Loktak Lake immediately after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the lake surface without creating harsh glares from the window.
